Our take

It was too close to call.

Besiktas were the stronger side on L90 Strength (52 vs 45). Recent goals, xG and shots on target add to that edge for Besiktas. Trabzonspor were without P. Onuachu and M. Kabasakal. Besiktas were without D. Vlahović and V. Černý. Trabzonspor had 9.2 days of rest, Besiktas 3.9 and had to travel 904 km. Conditions were neutral.

Total impact vs full squads

  • Besiktas+0.2 pp

From eScored squad data: each player's weight is his role (core 3, starter 2, rotation 1, depth 0.5) times his share of minutes. Defenders and keepers count to the defence line, forwards to attack, midfielders half to each. EloLambda turns the lost share into fewer goals scored and more conceded (weight 0.1); the totals show how that moves the result chances.
